Big day today folks: my very first Richmond restaurant review! If you get your last vote in for me today (before 4pm P.S.T) you may guarantee me a spot in the next round. Then, when I win, I’ll take you for a fun lunch, dinner or dim sum on Tourism Richmond! Last week was a

First of all, I want to thank every single person that I know for being so patient with me (and for all your voting). Facebook contests (especially of the daily voting variety) are awesome for brands, but not so awesome for the contestants or the friends and family and networks of the contestants. For 7
Yesterday was a very exciting day for me! Not only was it day one in the voting competition for the Richmond 365 Days of Dining competition (vote for me!) but, I finally met my lovely blogger friend Melissa of West Coast Nest, after almost a year of being super close on the internet. It actually
Today’s Travel Tuesday? (Ooh! Alliteration!) You guessed it: Richmond, BC! I’ve not spent that much time in Richmond (yet), but with a little help from you… all of that is about to change! Starting today, April 24th through next Tuesday, May 1 (at 4 p.m. PST) I need your help! And I need it once
Good morning friends—both old and new—I’m so excited I could just about burst! If you are new here (and I have a sneaking suspicion that lots of you are today), welcome! If you are a regular, you might be wondering just what is going on… well, I have great news: I made the top 12
Yesterday evening I stopped by Make It! Vancouver for some shopping and snacking. If you haven’t heard of Make It!, well, it’s not your grandma’s craft show. The vibe at the show is funky, hip and modern very different from you traditional granny craft show!(not that there is anything wrong with that) Music is performed
Happy Friday friends! Remember that amazing place I told you about in big time stress mode on Tuesday? Well, we found out a couple of days ago that we got it, woohoo! Move in day: May 15. We’ve got the top two floors (including the attic, with it’s sweet sloped roofline) of this 101 year
In place of Travel Tuesday this week, I need to vent a little. Last week I sort of left you hanging, and I apologize about that. Despite the fact that we move around—quite a lot—I always forget just how long it takes to settle in to a place, and when I’m in settling in mode
As I write this post, I’m somewhere between Buenos Aires and Vancouver… after almost four years away from Vancouver, I feel as though I’m finally coming home. Leaving Buenos Aires is bittersweet, I love the city—the food, the energy, the design, the tree lined streets, the mishmash of styles, the fashion, the café culture, and
All our bags are packed, we’re ready to go. It’s funny, while I’m not really ready to leave BA, I’m very ready to get down to business in my favourite city in the world. BA has been so, so wonderful. But I love Vancouver. We moved away from Vancouver 1442 days ago, and I can’t
When we learned that our friend Jenn was coming to visit for our last 10 days in BA, we decided a perfect way to celebrate would be by taking her to a closed door restaurant! Jenn’s very into food, so what better experience than this uniquely Buenos Aires phenomenon. One closed door that kept popping
Today I bring you something extra fun: a guest post from the hubs! (I’ve been k-o-ed with a doozey of a cold, and he offered up this hilarious post. He’s a keeper!) Enjoy! Very few things drive me crazier than blatant, totally avoidable inefficiency. I realize to some this makes me sound like a crazy
Wow. I can’t believe that it was 6 months ago that I posted my 30-before-30 list on my 29th birthday. My life has changed so much since that day, and I’m so excited about all of the exciting changes still to come this year. After a big day wine and bike touring in Mendoza yesterday,
I wrote briefly about Nucha in my 14 Days 14 Cafes post, and there is just something about it that keeps drawing me back. I don’t know if it is the light (it’s super bright in there), the beautiful high ceilings, the turquoise accents, the mid-century modern style pieces, or the mouth-wateringly delicious looking display
Today, my friend Jenn and I are getting onto an overnight luxury bus (cama suite class) and heading to Mendoza do to a bike and wine tour. Three years ago, I did a bike and wine tour in Mendoza with the hubs, and it was super fun. So I’m looking forward to doing it again.
